| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: September,03 i had one bridgestone dueler lt285/75r16 separate,causing serious vibration. replaced tire with same type tire and remaining tires were inspected by dealer for safety and re-mounted. next week dueler exploded causing $4200 damage to left side of truck and significant hearing loss. the tire was inspected twice by bridgestone. first time they said tire indicated that tire struck something. second time was just a denial as i had asked bridgestone to mark on the tire where it had hit something. i new it had not. mr. sheehan, their insurance adjuster478 7501166, told me they should have paid the claim. i did not include the hearing loss in the claim. numerous people have informed me of the same problems with dueler tires and bridgestones denial/fraud tactics. something needs to be done by the us government to prevent deaths and injuries. *nm |
